I have to laugh at myself for writing that People Collide was the most interesting take on Freaky Friday I'd ever read, only to have it de-throned by this less than a week later. I absolutely love Lauren Beukes' interdimensional fuckery. I've never been able to decide which of her books I love the most. I'd probably have to re-read to say for sure, but this might be my new favorite. Really hit those horror notes just right by playing on my phobia of parasitic worms. Literally my only criticism is that I disagree with the vegan neuroscientist's views on vivisection, but I'm still giving this book the five stars it deserves.

“Bridge” is a highly atmospheric, emotionally resonating, edge-of-your-seat adventure! Lauren Beukes poses some powerful and complicated questions about science, morality, trauma, and motherhood.
